The power button turns on and the screen is blank, I hear fans spinning a little bit and the screen just stays blank, the LED in the power button stays lit and it just does nothing, doesnt even sound...

    Toshiba Satellite L55-B5276 failed, replace logic board?

    Tru dat, though the problem is exactly: while it was being used constantly everyday for two years, it eventually just stopped turning on So I am just guessing that since the HDD has already been removed that this is a problem that is most likely to do with the logic board, since thats the main...

    Solved! Cannot boot OS on Inspiron 11 3162/3164

    My problem is a Dell laptop with a soldered SSD and RAM, I cannot change the SSD. The computer's bios doesnt detect the integrated SSD anymore, but booting into Ubuntu lets me see the SSD. So its a corrupt MBR. Can this be repaired?.

    "Unknown Device" in Device Manager (installing Windows 7 Pro on ASUS X455LJ)

    Well the first thing I did was I installed the LAN driver right from the Broadcom website. And from there I have been using Windows Update, Slimdrivers Free, to install the majority of the drivers. Some I found from searching on Google using Hardware Ids to find the right driver. It's weird...
